I just discovered the Online Story Time on Barnes & Nobles website. I listened to Chris Van Allsburg read his story “The Polar Express” very fun. Click on the picture of this story and it will bring you to the web page. The story will change January 4th. I will put the site under our DATABASES list on the right and you will be able to reach it there also.

Hello all, I am on vacation of a sorts and catching up on that reading!! I read a couple more of the Miss Julia series, Miss Julia Meets Her Match and Miss Julia’s School of Beauty, they are so funny. I also finished a book by Debbie Macomber Summer on Blossom Street. I am now reading Big Jack by J.D. Robb, a futuristic crime novel set in 2059. Don’t forget to come get a book to relax by this holiday season or an audio to listen to in your car as you scurry around with the season’s errands.
For Thanksgiving we will be closed Thursday and Friday. We do have new books in Joanna Fluke, Patrick McManus, David Baldacci, John Sandford, John Grisham, Jan Karon, Robert Parker, Diana Palmer, Karen Kingsbury and more. I am reading Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. It is a book about France in the present day and during World War II and so far it is very good. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
We have a few new DVDs in; Prince of Persia, The Back-up Plan, The Karate Kid, Letters to Juliet, Killers and Iron Man 2. Fall is finally showing up so it is time to cuddle up with a good movie or book.
I wanted to announce that the library will no longer be open on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings due to budget restraints. We are sorry if this causes any inconvenience. I have been gone so my book reading has sky rocketed! I read The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin by Gordon S. Wood. This was a very interesting book about Ben who was 15th of 17 children, and how he became to embody the “self-made man”. Very interesting! I also read the 2 books we have by Virginia Smith, a fun story about 3 sisters. I also tried to catch up on the Miss Julia series, a very fun series about a feisty Southern heroine and the troubles that come her way! Come on down to the library and get your book!
We have new books in the library! Janet Evanovich, J.A. Jance, Nicholas Sparks, Sandra Brown, Kathy Reichs, and more! Look on our New Materials page in the right column. I have been reading a new book I found by DiAnn Mills that is great, she reminds somewhat of Dee Henderson, not quite as intense but it is about a former CIA agent hiding in a small town working as a librarian. Good stuff!
Hello, it appears I haven’t been updating my new movies! We did just get in some new ones: The Lightning Thief, The Bounty Hunter, The Last Song, No Remorse:Jesse Stone, Valentine’s Day, Barnyard:The Original Party Animals and Leap Year. The entire list is on the New Materials page on the right.
Don’t forget the Book Sale ends Saturday, September 11th at noon! There are still some fun things to buy!
